i will not stand for ep 11 slander... i honestly consider it one of the better episodes when it comes to the writing. it was a nice change of pace and we also got to know more about the characters and mysteries in the story. in my opinion, ep 6 was actually one of the weaker episodes writing-wise even though it had a lot of memorable scenes for the segye x seori ship. i may be biased though since i'm a big fan of angst when done well. i like how my royal nemesis has been incorporating tragic/melancholic themes in every episode so the really angsty and serious scenes don't feel too jarring, especially when you compare it to other dramas that just suddenly introduce tragedy or conflict near the end of the series and become a completely different story. my royal nemesis, on the other hand, has been consistent all throughout with balancing the emotional, dark, and comedic scenes.

11 episodes in and still no signs of the series falling off.. my royal nemesis the icon you are

i wasn't expecting much, so this drama surprised me. i wondered why viral hit got a jdrama rather than a kdrama since it's originally a korean webtoon, but after finishing this, i believe the premise, themes, gags, and acting are really more suited in a jdrama style. it was a fun mess, but they also managed to include emotional tones and was able to explore the characters even with a limited number of episodes. viral hit's characterization feels a bit shallow (in both webtoon and anime), so i appreciate that the jdrama tried to flesh out the characters and changed a couple of details from the source material. the characters honestly felt more likable in this adaptation. i think all the actors did a good job bringing their characters to life. the plot is wacky, chaotic, and unrealistic, so i would recommend turning off the brain while watching to enjoy it more.

Okay, I don't know WHAT they put in My Royal Nemesis, but everything about this is addicting and just works. Romcoms can easily end up becoming boring, corny, predictable, or too much since they rely on a lot of cliches, but this drama manages to make even the most cliche tropes and cheesiest lines refreshing, endearing, and fun. The actors here have such natural chemistry and are so good at embodying their characters that it doesn't make you cringe and instead makes you genuinely smile, laugh, squeal, etc. (and later on will probably make us cry too). The contrast of the leads' appearances with the ridiculous stuff they say and do makes their banter and the comedy really land as well. There's a pretty good balance of silliness and seriousness in the story. Also, the subtle details they include that might not be obvious or noticeable at first all feel very intentional and makes the audience appreciate every scene and interaction even more. It gives the show a huge rewatch value. I never really rewatch episodes of ongoing dramas, but I can't get enough of this and have rewatched every episode more than two times. They somehow mastered the kdrama craze formula and I'm hopeful that the show will only get better as I'm enjoying every new episode they put out even more than the previous one!

park jihyun looks so adorable and sweet on the poster! her character here is very different from her usual roles. i'm excited to see a new side to her.

so far, they already touched on sexual harassment, rape, physical abuse, victim blaming, drugs in the entertainment industry, prostitution/sex trade, stalking, cyberbullying, self-harm, and also have one of the female leads as a two-time divorcee. i also love how their law firm specializes and focuses on crimes against women.

THE FIRST EPISODE LEFT SUCH A HUGE IMPRESSION ON ME! they were able to introduce so many "taboo" topics in just one episode, and i love how smart, charismatic, and powerful the three main ladies are in different ways. i can't wait to learn more about them. i'm a big fan of jung eun chae and she's killing it as sin jae. i hope lots of people tune into this drama.

I may be the minority who appreciated the movie for what it is, mostly because it reminded me of the movie Artificial Intelligence (2001) at times which tackled similar themes. I just wish they leaned into the eerie, sci-fi aspect more if they weren't gonna stick to the disaster aspect anyway so the shift halfway in the movie wouldn't be as jarring. There are also a lot of plot holes & details in the movie that would only make sense if you rewatch it or if someone else points it out, and the movie can come off as confusing instead of thought-provoking. Regardless, it was still pretty enjoyable. Dami's acting was great and I was rooting for her character to suceed.

ANOTHER PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE IN "THE PRICE OF CONFESSION!" i'm still not over You And Everything Else and she blows me away yet again. literally in love with all her projects

she did so amazing as sangyeon in you and everything else omg especially the crying scenes

2 year delay is crazy but we're finally getting Spirit Fingers kdrama omg 😭🩷

one of my favorite webtoons! hopefully they adapt it well and have a great cast. the story becomes so chilling by the middle and end of the story.

yesss more main roles for jung eunchae please ♥️

can't wait to see arin's acting career blossom even more from here on out ❤️

I hope someone can change his "Guest Role" for The Good Bad Mother into "Support Role" so more people will find his profile easier when they look at the cast. Loved his acting btw! Hoping to see him more of him in the future!

Only 12 episodes? :(

OMG I LOVE THIS WEBTOON SO MUCH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S GETTING A KDRAMA
